Every afternoon I stand by a second floor window in the Ed Sullivan Theater and take mediocre photos of guests as they enter and leave the Late Show with David Letterman. In the foreground of each shot is a wad of old gum I noticed on the window ledge. There may be better paparazzi photos on the internet, but this is the only place you'll find the juxtaposition of celebrities and hardened gum. Enjoy!

Conan O'Brien
I had to fight very hard to keep Jay Leno from replacing Conan in this photo.
Remember, joke references need to age at least two years in order to reach full, mellow, oaky maturity! A comedy tip from CelebriGum's Master Distiller.
Just in time! The statute of limitations on this joke had nearly expired.
ReplyDeleteNo, it's like murder: no statute of limitations on this topic.
DeleteThis stuff will never get old:

It's a race to see which expires first: the gum or the Conan/Jay reference.
DeleteI can't wait for Conan's next documentary - "CONAN O'BRIEN CAN'T STOP....POSING WITH GUM."
ReplyDeleteThat's the one that will end with Conan being gently led away to a mental institution.
DeleteHe's in Los Angeles now. He's already in a mental institution.
DeleteIs that Conan sidekick, Andy Richter, on the ledge? Andy does do a great impression of a gray lump on a couch, so ...

The gum is the perfect all-purpose sidekick for every celebrity. Keeps quiet, makes the star look good by comparison.
DeleteIs that popular Simpsons scribe Conan O'brien? Oh, no it's just one time talk show host Conan O'brien.
ReplyDeleteHe's actually on his third talk show, for those keeping score at home.
DeleteI don't count talk shows on cable, not since ALF had a talk show on cable.
DeleteThat wasn't Alf. That was Kathy Lee Gifford.
DeleteNo. I know the difference between those two. Kathy Lee is the one that always eats cats right?
